' Wrote:Deadline for submissions is something like 22 days from now.
We can't delete it, it would require a player wipe.
It would only require a player wipe if you deleted the ship entirely, you can still delete it from any base so that no more can be sold, and alleviate the issue.

I will not give a opinion for different reasons stated bellow.
It can't be deleted, we all know that.
It not going to be replaced, to close to the ship submition deadline.
It can however be re-skined, just need a volunter with a few hours of free time.
So let this thread die unless someone does volunteer and restart
the conversation after the new mod build is released.

This would solve what now? Simply 'removing' a ship from the mod is not what Igiss or anyone else wants, as far as I know; the exception being you.
You really should get in-game more.

Akuma, it looks like the Starflier line because of the cockpit. Of course it doesn't look exactly like them because it's a large freighter, while Starfliers are tiny fighters.

It would solve the problem of having an import that shouldn't be in the game to begin with. The game has a large selection of transports and doesn't need this one or a replacement, really.

I refrained from posting till now, but your ignorance amazes me. Right it is and import. We all agree on it. Also mostly we agree that imports should not be there. We all know why are imports things that ruin a game bit. Usually they stand out from enviroment, are flown because pilot likes universe they are imported from and so on.
Firefly model for now is one of rare imports that actually fits freelancer design theme. Also it is quite interesting transport ship in its own right. Its uniqe and fills place where it is put prefectly. As rule for imports, yes it should be moved/replaced. But since most things here are comunity decided, and comunity seems to like it how and where it is(except for texture, but that is minor problem) and there will it stay untill either Igiss, ot comunity decide to move/replace it. For instance, I do not like ship itself because it looks like duck, and I have no reason to fly it. But also there is no point for me to protest about it when there are more people like it than not. Democratic process is fair only to majority, while unfair to minority.
Now part I cannot understand... You said your opinion, thank you for it, now shut it up. It is written here, it is read, and it is your personal opinion. Manner you are trying to prove you are right is agressive, opressive and rather annoying. Please refrain from it in future.
//Also i apologize for OT

The problem with imports isn't their design, it's that they shift the focus of the game away from freelancer and toward some other universe, and that in doing so they spoil immersion for some people.

As far as I know the community hasn't said either way, just a small fraction of the community is on this forum to begin with, and an even smaller fraction have expressed their opinions.
Can you point out where there has been true community involvement that reflects a majority?

Someone who makes statements like "but your ignorance amazes me" has no right to criticize others. Frankly by starting with a personal insult you only highlight your own hypocrisy here.
Again, the point isn't that you don't like me, it's that imports don't belong, and it is simple to fix.
Firefly - jammi - 09-12-2008
:facepalm: Why do you assume the community is on your side? From what I can see, the comunity has said: Yes it's an import, we like it but once a sutible replace is submitted replace it. Why aren't you happy with that?
Back to topic: The Firefly needs a reskin. That is all. It does not need removing. I would also like to see the Firefly incorperated into the Star line, maybe with a name change to break up it imported-ness and a slight colour change (that creamish colour the flea is). I would say it would be sold in Liberty, but that place is pretty saturated with ships already, and doesn't really need it.
Firefly - Cawdor - 09-13-2008
may i introduce my self? I am the no.1 import hater around here. crusading as always and got to know the situation quite well.
1. read what doom said.
2. read it again.
3. conclude that there are FAR WORSE imports that have to be removed FIRST - but wont be since there ain't enough time left until the next version.
IF whale and firefly have to go, then they are the very last ones in line. deal with it.
kkthxbye.
Firefly - Akumabito - 09-13-2008
Well, then you are not the number one import hater around here, are you?
They can be pulled with the next version without replacement, why shouldn't that be done?
